Legal Advice: Posting Hate Mail (sent to me) on a Public Website

[DSTCHAOS]

I actually suggest taking his name and email out despite the legality of it all. My friend who knows "internet law stuff" is unavailable right now. So I'd say above the legality of it all, make your life easier by removing identifiers.

Are you trying to embarass him or teach him a lesson? Are you trying to get him to receive hate mail (and congratulatory mail from folks who agree with him)?

Figure out what your motives are and go from there. You can highlight ignorance without identifying the ignorant.

Bearing in mind that this is outside my area and this is not intended as legal advice [disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer], I would agree, if nothing else than for the sake of making your life easier.

I'd maybe leave his first name in there, but leave it at that.

BTW, what's the link for your blog, Senusret?

I would threaten a counter-suit-- he initiated the harrassment. Get the local GLBT lobbying group involved to send him a letter.
